[Air-L] LINI launched in Lisbon and welcoming networking and sharing of research outputs

[gustavo cardoso]

 Dear Colleagues,

I would like to announce the launch of LINI, Lisbon Internet and Networks
International Research Programme http://www.lini-research.org .

LINI is the outcome of the networking of four Portuguese research
institutions (CIES, MRC, ADETTI and OberCom). LINI intends to become a key
player in the networking of information and communication technologies and
the scientific domains of social and political sciences, economics,
management and open source technologies.

Our focus of attention is Europe, Portuguese Speaking Countries and Latin
America, but also extending our research to themes and areas in North
America, Asia and Africa.

The LINI research programme targets defined areas that are critical to the
public interest and business.

A crucial element of this project is the ability to identify research areas
that internationally, although of critical interest to the society, have not
yet been thoroughly researched by leading scientific institutions of the
Social Sciences, Information and Communications Technologies and Economics
and Management.

The four separate, but inter-related areas, in which most of our research is
undertaken are:

*Open Source Society and Free knowledge*

*Networked Communication*

*Networks and Mobility in Everyday life*

*The Network Enterprise and Innovation*

*Thank you for your attention and, if not sooner, hope to network at AoIR
Conference in Copenhagen,***

*Best,***

*Gustavo Cardoso*
